No pics from these two events - too busy dancin'!
Thornhill, Ont, September 27th, 2003
The one day
Line Dance Craze Jamboree event hosted annually by Director Linda Francey was all that and more! Most of the local instructors
have guest slots in the crammed pack day of lessons. Included were: Linda, Michele Gilliland, Frank Cooper, Robert Fielder,
Cathy Montgomery, Val Keller, Bunny Burton, Jillian Tosky, Carmen Mah, Yvonne Tam, Diane Bishop, Gloria Kitchner, Fred Buckly,
Trish Fountain, Marlene MAskell, Deb Wilcox, Vivienne Scott, & me - I got to be the Michigan contigient :) Lynn
Warden during the day along with Jenny Lyness handled the DJ duties for us.

There were tons of dances taught during the day. Many choreographed by local talents, along with a nice variety of stuff from universally recognized
names.
Turnout looked to be dandy to me in spite of the holiday. We got
to dance n play with folks we see all the time - folks we see some of the time - and folks we don't usually see
out n about at workshops & dances. All n all it made for a loverly fun filled day.
Lots of lessons for cheap too! $20 Canadian for
an early advance pass, which included the dancing at night. Can't go wrong like that. The range was mostly high
beg/low intermediate, with a few harder ones and a few newcomer dances thrown in to offer sumpin for evyone.
Class were fun, the facility is too cool!
Canada has the best local Community Centres around! This one had
everything from hockey rinks - to pools - to the public library - it was HUGE! I even got a lil tour of the place as
an added bonus ;) Every town I've ever happened upon in Canada has a rockin' community Centre - lucky them!
I'm looking fwd to next year's annual event. Thanks to Linda and
all the instructors, DJs, & staff and dancers for making it such a fine dance day! See ya there next September.

Jane Olmsby was our event director and did a great job with each and every detail. From slotting the lessons,
to lunch, to the evening dance playlist. She sure knows how to make a list and check it twice ;)
All

from that area.
